More Countdown: laziness, Scheme, and German frogs

We should only have to check entries up until the point that we have enough matches (in the current code 'take 4 $ getAnagrams') and that's good. However, we have to generate the whole powerset first, so that we can sort it […]

I thought it'd be fun to try to do it in Haskell, and started with the letters game (anagram) solver. Starting with a string of jumbled letters, the goal is to make the longest possible anagram.
